    Came back yet again, but this time for the Whistle Stop. Another banger there. I didn't have much of an appetite so I chose something light and I was very happy with my order. At this rate, I'll end up trying the whole menu!

    It's a tiny dive spot in Florida, but the food is always great! Usually a wait because it's so small inside, but a must stop for a unique experience. The menu is very extensive and everything is cooked from scratch.

    Great hole in the wall. Don't go expecting 5 star accommodations but it has 5 star menu! The service is great, fast and friendly. Great place!

    Stopped in here on my last day in FL, I have heard great things about the breakfast and had to try! Let's say what I heard was correct- the eggs were perfect and my waffle was amazing. It's definitely your whole in the wall type place, the tables were a bit sticky/not very clean and the waitress kept asking us what we ordered. But overall- yummy! I'd be back!

    Skyway Jacks is legendary! You know you can always go there and get filled up with a huge menu...whether it be breakfast or lunch. It does get busy there on the weekends and can be a bit crowded inside but it's totally worth the wait. Staff always seems happy and helpful. It's a perfect pit stop on the way to Vintage Marche antique shop across the street!

    Breakfast options are incredible here. I had a Greek omelette with potatoes and it was very delicious and filling! Hospitality was very nice here, the waitress was friendly and helpful.

    Where else can you get a great breakfast in a kitschy, wonky, unique classic diner dive in St Pete? Who cares?! Come here for the classic fun happy egg sculpture outside! Come here for the prominent sign that says "Home of the 1 star Yelp review! For not cutting our toast diagonal!" Come here for the crazy unique coffee cups. No two are alike. Come here at 6am and see a slice of diner life in St Pete! Come here to be served by Jeannie who is on it! Fast, friendly, energetic and on it! Life is good with yummy breakfast at 6am in South St Petersburg! How do you like your toast?

    Oh my skyway Jax! I can't tell you enough how much I love this place- so much so that I think I've written a review about them before, but I had to give him another one. It's always a friendly atmosphere when you walk into the spot,- a little off the beaten path so well worth the drive. My friend and I had corned beef hash, eggs over medium with potatoes and also the shrimp and grits. I've been craving both of these meals for the last 48 hours, I don't know what got into me! Skyway Jax never disappoints- the grits were cheesy and creamy and melted in my mouth the shrimp season to Southern perfection. I asked for my corned beef hash to be crispy and it was perfect even the eggs perfect temperature at medium. Bottomless cup of coffee, too - sign me up This is my go to breakfast spot in St Pete Number one Nobody better for breakfast or lunch Yum

    Liver breakfast
    Erica F.

    There's parking in this location. The space is very nice and homie. They are very busy every time we come but we have not experienced any wait lines as of yet. The staff is super nice and friendly. I have been here about three times now and I enjoy every time. Ofc is not perfect every time. But more times than not it is pretty good. The food is very nice. I have had a lot of issues finding a good liver and I think I found it. LIVER BREAKFAST- I love the liver here. Even if I am not a fan to the fact that they bread it. I do enjoy the liver flavor here. It is cooked perfectly. The only thing I must say is that my eggs were so raw I was scared of them. The place is nice and the overall experience was pretty good. I will keep coming back.

    Home of the 1 Star Yelp Review for not cutting our toast diagonally. T-shirt and Towel. I read that and had a good laugh.

    EXPERIENCE: The…read moreinterior is contemporary and casual -- there's a sparkling golden wall lol. The service is very kind and helpful. Keep in mind that there is a 20% gratuity added to every check, regardless of party size! FOOD: Curry Mussels 10/10 -- My number one recommendation! The curry sauce isn't too heavy but still very flavorful, not to mention the bread portion is beyond generous. Tokyo Shrimp 9/10 -- Such plump shrimps! The batter isn't overdone and the sauce is amazinggg. It also came with a stuffed broccoli decorated in the middle of the plate on top of some fried rice. Butter Chicken 10/10 -- I cannot stop thinking about the naan. This entree was beyond my expectations. I have no notes, you must try it! Peruvian Chicken 7/10 -- The chicken could be more flavorful, was a tad lacking.

    Social Roost was highly disappointing. We made reservations here for my birthday brunch and it was…read moremeh. The service was good but the food was not good. Firstly when the waiter brought out my plate, I noticed an item from my meal was missing. I asked him where my collard greens were and he says "you're right. Let me go get them." Once he brings the greens back and I taste them and they had zero flavor. Tasted straight out of a can. Secondly, when I cut into my chicken breast, the entire chicken breast slid out of the breading. Nice atmosphere so if I return it will only be for drinks.

    The Wooden Rooster: Where My Morning Got Its Life Together Before I Did…read more Listen... I came here expecting "just a crepe." What I got was a full-on personality upgrade. First off--the vibe. Somehow it's better than Kraft (yeah I said it), but like... calmer, cooler, and not screaming at you before coffee. It's peaceful, shady, low-noise... the kind of place where you feel like you should start journaling or making better life decisions. Now let's talk food. I ordered The B.E.A.S.T. and I'm not exaggerating when I say this thing deserves its own documentary. Bacon. Pesto. Sun-dried tomatoes. Eggs. It was like every breakfast all-star showed up and said, "Let's absolutely dominate this guy's morning." Perfect balance. Crispy, creamy, savory... I took one bite and immediately forgave myself for everything I've ever done wrong. And honestly? This is a WAY better place to start your morning than the bagel place down the street. You know the one. We've all settled for it. We don't have to live like that anymore. Also--huge shoutout to the service. These people were so nice I almost asked if they wanted to come manage my personal life too. Fast, friendly, and somehow still chill. Bonus points for the menu because where else can you go from a Nutty Joe dessert crepe to a Cubano crepe to a PB&J throwback without anyone questioning your life choices? Final verdict: If you're in downtown St. Pete and not coming here, you're making your mornings unnecessarily harder than they need to be. Wooden Rooster didn't just feed me-- it emotionally supported me.
